The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Jia Lian saluted and said, "Second wife!"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Lian in surprise, but did not speak, only said "um", and he walked by.

"Feng girl, why are you sitting on the couch? Why don't you come down and stay there!" Madam Wang was displeased, "Now that you have entered the door, why are you still so unruly? People will laugh at our Wang family's lack of education."

Sister Feng was smiling when she suddenly saw Madam Wang coming in, she hurriedly stood up, curtly said Wanfu.

Mrs. Wang still wanted to ask questions, but the old lady was not happy. "If you don't come, we are still joking and laughing. When you come here, you have this rule and that upbringing.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "What the old lady taught is that the daughter-in-law is only worried that the girl Feng will annoy the old lady and make you upset."

The old lady nodded, "You still don't know me? Don't worry, this niece of yours is very much to my liking, she's just like my granddaughter."

Sister Feng immediately smiled and said, "Ancestor, this is what you said. From now on, I will be your granddaughter."

The old lady smiled and shook her head, "That's not good, Brother Lian asked me for a daughter-in-law, but I didn't have one!"

Sister Feng's face turned red and cloudy, "Maybe he would like to choose a better one!"

The old lady said sternly: "He dares? If he had the slightest intention, I would not have your grandson! Do you hear me?" said to Jia Lian seriously.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "The old lady chose the best one for her grandson. How dare you have that kind of thought?"

Mrs. Wang also joked: "Brother Feng is also a nonsense, can you say this? In the future, you will also take care of yourself and help your mother-in-law with the housework over there. It's serious."

When Sister Feng arrived for the first time, she was a little afraid of Madam Wang, so she hurriedly responded, "Aunt... Madam taught me! I wrote it down."

Madam Wang coughed lightly and covered her chest with her hands, which seemed very uncomfortable.Sister Feng stepped forward to help her sit on the chair next to her, and patted her gently on the back. "Ma'am, are you feeling better?"

Mrs. Wang turned her head and grabbed her hand, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, it's an old problem. It'll be fine after a short rest."

The old lady sighed and persuaded: "You are also very thoughtful. Although there are not many things at home, there are dozens of bits and pieces every day, and you are doing everything yourself, and it is not worthwhile to break down your body more and more. ."

Mrs. Wang's face was sad, "My daughter-in-law is stupid, and she was in charge of the house with the old lady's account. She didn't dare to be careless and took care of the whole family. It's just that she has lost her mind recently and her memory has been much worse. I've been busy with Lian Ge'er and Feng Ge'er's marriage for a while, if it wasn't for Yuanyang's reminder, even the old lady's previous affairs almost forgot..."

The old lady waved her hands and said with a smile, "It's nothing. If I can do it myself, I won't make you worry about it. Don't take it to heart."

Her eyes glanced back and forth between Madam Wang and Sister Feng several times. "Originally, I told you to find a helper, but Pearl's wife and widow didn't have the heart to lose their jobs, and she never got better. Now, isn't your mother's niece just right? Don't worry about everything in the future. , stronger than anything else."

When Madam Wang heard this, she looked at Sister Feng.

Sister Feng has also handled housework at home, and she likes to take care of other people the most. Now the old lady wants her to help the housekeeper, how can she disagree?It was only because of Madam Wang that she looked at her uneasily, for fear that she would disagree.

Jia Lian has been paying attention, and at the moment when Madam Wang turned her head, she frowned and glanced in the direction of the Bisha cabinet inadvertently.

Yes, the family business of Rongguo Mansion, if others are involved, there will be many twists and turns.

The old lady added: "Feng girl is young, her legs are sharp, and she can speak to the people below. You can send her some small chores and let her learn to take care of things. If it is a big thing, you are in charge of it. I'm relieved."

Only then did Mrs. Wang smile and said, "Old lady, I'll tell you the truth, I already have this heart." She got up and brought Sister Feng to the old lady, "I grew up watching this girl. The appearance is very beautiful, the speech is clear, the scheming is very deep, and it is a man who can't do anything. Today, I will leave the family affairs to her, and I can't be more relieved. "

The old lady nodded and said, "That's it, it's settled."

Sister Feng couldn't help but hurriedly postponed: "Old madam, madam, Feng'er is young and carefree after all, and if something goes wrong, it's trivial to make people laugh. There is no redemption for a hundred deaths.”

Madam Wang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as you follow the family's routine and don't fall out of line, even if you make a mistake, it's limited. Besides, if you can't handle it, and the old lady and me, look and ask more. Just stop making your own decisions.”

The old lady said: "Wait a while, let Lai's family and Zhou Rui's family accompany Feng girl to go around."

.

Chapter [-]: All Beings in Rong Mansion ([-])

Sister Feng agreed.

Jia Lian didn't speak from the beginning to the end. For one thing, this is an internal matter, something decided by the old lady and Mrs. Wang, and others can't refute it.Second, Sister Feng has a good temperament to take power and show her prestige. How can she bear it without giving her anything to do and staring at herself all day long?Even if she can bear it, her body can't bear it!

While Mrs. Wang explained to Sister Feng what she was going to do soon, "Go to the kitchen and ask them to make another copy of yesterday's eggplant and bring it back. You can't eat the old ones, just throw them away! Go to the back library and pick up some satin, remember to make new clothes for your brothers and sisters, and also, take three hundred taels of silver from the account to Zhou Rui's family..."

At this moment, another little girl outside came to report, "The eldest lady is here!"

While speaking, she was covered in splendid beauty, with golden and jade plugs, and she saw that Mrs. Xing, who was a few years younger than Mrs. Wang, came in to save the old lady.

Jia Lian and Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Mrs. Xing supported Sister Feng with both hands and looked at it carefully, "It really looks good, it's a blessing for Brother Lian! In the future, if our family has any grievances, or Brother Lian bullies you, just tell me and I will help you. Get out of your anger!" She looked at Jia Lian, "Keep this in your heart. Your master has something to tell you later!"

She is Jia Lian's mother, sister Feng's mother-in-law, and she naturally speaks stubbornly and appropriately.

Seeing her finish speaking, the old lady smiled and said, "I just made an agreement with my second daughter-in-law that I will borrow Feng girl to come over to the housekeeping. I don't want you to serve me here today, go back and do your job."

The smile on Mrs. Xing's face has not yet faded, and she is busy suppressing embarrassment and displeasure. Even if she can't manage the house, don't discuss with her how the people in her room arrange it. Is there only one sentence left?She forced a smile: "How does Feng girl arrange it, and how do I do it? It's fine if you agree, it doesn't matter what's going on in my yard, it's better to let her help her aunt Zhang Luo, which is also good. "

With a gun and a stick, Mrs. Wang said she was uneasy, and stood up and explained: "Sister-in-law, forgive me, it's because I'm sick and my spirit is very weakened. I'm afraid that my family will not take good care of it, so I mentioned it to the old lady and let me When Feng girl came over, the old lady took pity on me because I was really weak, so she agreed. I didn't discuss it with my sister-in-law beforehand, it was all my sister's fault." She was about to step forward and apologize.

Disdain flashed in Mrs. Xing's eyes, you are sick, you can't take care of it, I'm fine, why can't I do it for you?

She glanced at the old lady who was aloof in fear, hurriedly supported her, and said with a smile: "What do you say, sister? It's all a family, it should be. It's a pity that I can't help you, there is a phoenix girl to help you, That's the same as me."

Saying that, she turned around and told Sister Feng, "Your aunt is the best housekeeper. There are hundreds of people up and down. There is nothing wrong with her. You can follow her and learn from her. When you become a family in the future, you will have an example to learn from."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I don't have anything to learn, I just do what the old lady wants." A haze flashed between her brows.

The old lady was watching the fire beside her, frowning, "You all respect my old lady, don't teach me to worry, it's your filial piety. Old people, you are here, I have something to tell you. Now brother Lian also After getting married, there should always be a serious deacon. If I didn't tell you, your master would never have thought of it. Since he has a chance to make progress in the imperial examinations, he might as well spend a few dollars as soon as possible to donate an official body, regardless of whether it is high or low. For a few years, I don’t expect him to be a big official, if there is good fortune, I will be better than Brother Zhen in the Dongfu, I will be relieved.”

Mrs. Xing paused and replied with a smile, "When he came, his master was talking about it. He would only be caught off guard when he got some money in a few years later. It's not in a hurry now... I'll remind you."

The old lady was in no mood to continue talking to her.

Jia Lian heard about donating officials to him, and it is estimated that this is how the false title of cognito came from in the future, right?What's the use of this?

So he smiled and said: "Old lady, the master and the wife are loving, and Lian'er is grateful. It's just that I have also got married, and I want to ask the old lady for an idea, let me find something to do by myself." After speaking, he winked at Sister Feng.

Sister Feng didn't even look at her mother-in-law, but laughed with the old lady: "Second Master Lian also knows how to make progress now, and told me that he wants to make a career. Even if the donation is short, I am afraid it is a false title and can't be of great use. Old lady, let him wander outside for a few years, and he has fulfilled his oath. If nothing is accomplished by then, how about we come back to ask for your grace, old lady?"

The old lady hesitated: "It's hard for you to have the heart! It's just..."

Mrs. Xing immediately smiled and said, "But what can you do? You need money everywhere now, how can there be so much money for you to squander? If you lose the cost, it's a small thing, and if something goes wrong, it will affect the house, but it's a big deal! You are still Be safe, and wait for the master to plan for you."

Jia Lian laughed endlessly. His cheap father was [-]% devoted to his aunt who had never been there, and [-]% to other people's antiques. How could he ever think about the family business?If he can be trusted, the sow will climb the tree!After all, it's actually a waste of money!

"My son doesn't dare not to listen to his wife's teaching. It's just that I don't want half a tael from the official, and I don't want to touch the shop property in the government. It's all up to me!"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "It's really a joke. If you insist on not wanting the money from the official, I will take out a hundred taels from my body and share it with you!"

The old lady glanced at Madam Xing and pointed at Jia Lian, "I'll give you two hundred taels!"

Sister Feng also jokingly said: "Second Master Lian, I will also give you two hundred taels, making up a total of five hundred taels for the book. After a year, you can double it and pay us back."

With five hundred taels of silver as the base, you can do a lot of things.

With a smile on the corner of Jia Lian's mouth, he immediately agreed, and he would high-five with Sister Feng to swear.

Sister Feng took a few steps back and spat: "You can't fold my money, let alone the old lady's and the wife's!"

The old lady smiled and said, "You don't suffer at all?"

Sister Feng called Qu and said, "Old lady, I'm not afraid that Second Master Lian will play tricks on you and defraud the old lady of your money? Besides, if there is no restraint, I am afraid that Second Master Lian will spend the money in a blink of an eye. It's not worth it."

The old lady and Mrs. Wang both laughed.Mrs. Xing was embarrassed at the side.

Jia Lian couldn't help sighing that Mrs. Wang had a needle hidden in the cotton, and Mrs. Xing was stupid. The two sisters never dealt with each other. In addition, the old lady sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and Sister Feng was in the middle.

.

Chapter [-] From now on, do your own thing ([-])

Madam Xing left quietly.

The old lady looked at the door and smiled at Sister Feng: "Your mother-in-law has been around for a long time. You know that the sound of your mouth is actually soft."

Mrs. Wang instructed: "If you feel a little wronged, just tell the old lady and me, don't be an outsider."

Sister Feng blinked, still not understanding whether they did not treat their mother-in-law as a serious wife?How she will have a bottom line in the future. "Old lady, what the lady said, Feng'er remembered everything."

Jia Lian has no intention of defending Mrs. Xing. As the saying goes, poor people must be pitiful. Even if she is greedy for money or mean, Jia Lian doesn't mind and has nothing to do with him.

After all, she was just Jia She's house filling, and she came from a small family with a low status. It was normal for her to be unpopular in this rich and powerful mansion.But she shouldn't be showing off her tricks, trying to be a loathsome and embarrassing person.

But compared to what Mrs. Xing wanted to do, Jia Lian was even more reluctant to get along with the feminine and cold-faced Mrs. Wang. Just now, she didn't talk much, and every word was to the point, letting the old lady and Mrs. Xing get along. Unknowingly, they followed her ideas.

This is a great man!

"Feng'er, we should go to the East Road Courtyard, my father is still waiting!" Jia Lian took Sister Feng's little hand, and naturally intertwined his fingers.

Sister Feng blushed and dared not look at the old lady and Mrs. Wang, and whispered, "I know, let me go first!"

Jia Lian just pretended he didn't hear it, but got closer.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "You little husband and wife are so affectionate, and there are still mothers over there who are chewing their tongues, so it's time to rectify it."

The old lady has always been kind and kind. "In the future, I will leave this to Feng girl, and you can rest in peace." This is what she told Mrs. Wang again.

Madam Wang vigorously counted the beads in her hand, lowered her head and replied, "That's what I said, I will be much more relaxed in the future.

I also unloaded the rest of the burden, and devoted myself to serving in front of the old lady and smiling with you. "

The old lady nodded and smiled and said, "I have Baoyu here, and if I add a girl named Feng, I'm also a troublemaker! If you don't want to be afraid of arguing, let's get a few of our mothers, and then ask Mammy Lai to play cards together."

Madam Wang covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm afraid the old lady thinks her daughter-in-law is slow to play cards!"

The old lady didn't speak, and there were several screams from the little girl from the Bisha closet.The frightened old lady got off the bed and shouted as she walked, "Baoyu! Baoyu!"

Yuanyang hurriedly supported her, "Old lady, slow down!"

Madam Wang also changed her complexion and turned into the Bisha closet together.

Sister Feng also wanted to follow, but was caught by Jia Lian, "Why are you joining in the fun?"

Sister Feng also stood on tiptoe, trying to look through the lattice of the Bisha closet, "Maybe something happened inside!"

Jia Lian didn't even think about it and said, "What else can happen? Bacheng Baoyu stole the rouge gouache from the girls and put it on their mouths, or got tired of touching them in their clothes and looking for candy! That's the point of success!"

Sister Feng laughed and said with a blushing face: "Second Master, let the old lady and the wife know about this, but I won't forgive you!"

It happened that a little girl in her teens ran out of the Bisha closet, with a beautiful face, two pigtails, wearing a light purple tooth-pinch vest, and she was still talking to herself: "Second Master Bao is true, only with us. Noisy! It's okay..."

"Parrot, go get some water to wash Baoyu!" Madam Wang called.

The girl hurriedly responded and hurried out again.

Jia Lian laughed: "What did I just say?" He approached Sister Feng's noodles, "If you want to see it, let's go home and I'll show it to you."

Sister Feng spat: "How old is Baoyu? Do you learn from him?"
